- These disaster benefits are temporary and for those who are not current recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, formerly known as food stamps.
- It is approved for residents of: Beaufort, Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Dare, Duplin, Greene, Harnett, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lenoir, Pender, Robeson, Sampson, Tyrrell and Wayne counties.
- Residents must apply by October 26 at designated locations in their counties. See below for dates, locations and times.
- Eligibility is based on available income and resources. Those applying must provide proof of identity along with proof of residency (if available).
